Testimonials

We hired Evan Farr to create our entire set of estate documents. I would work with him again and can recommend him without reservation.

M.R., Fairfax, VA

Evan Farr and his firm have been a godsend to my family. He was so easy to speak with about hard family topics.

Mary Keelin, Burke, VA

My pension was not enough to cover my wife's nursing home expenses. If it weren't for the Medicaid [that the Farr Firm helped me qualify for] I don't know what would have happened.

Thanks to your firm, we still have our home, a few dollars still in the bank, and most importantly, my wife is able to be in our home with the help that she needs.
